Zhang's record of scoring in every league game was finally ended, but it wasn't a battle between shields and spears, it was just that he hit the post four times in 90 minutes, three of them on the post and one on the crossbar.

When the game was about to end, Zhang Jun took the ball in front of the penalty area and turned around, and took a shot, and the football drew a wonderful arc and flew to the far corner of the goal......

Hit the goalpost.

There was a crisp sound, and Veronica sighed. Zhang Jun stood in place with his hands in regret, he didn't score the goal, and Warrendam was also held to a draw at home by Willemiitilburg.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Zhang Jun exhaled fiercely. It's good, it's good. Twelve league games and seventeen goals, which is already a record in the Dutch Super League. It took him 22 goals in one season last year, and this year he is only five goals away from 12 league games. This is of course an incomparably brilliant achievement, and it is also a topic of conversation among fans, but for Zhang Jun, it is also an extremely heavy burden. Every time he goes on the pitch he always thinks, "Gotta score, gotta score", and it's really tiring to play like that.

If this record is over, let it end. People will no longer talk about whether Zhang Jun can score in the next game and whether he can continue the record. He can finally play his own football, which will not belong to the critics, it will not belong to the boring record.

On November 23, Warrendam shook hands with Willem II at home, and Zhang Jun's almost crazy goal storm finally subsided.

On December 4, Warrendam hosts Roosendaal. Zhang Jun still didn't score, but he contributed two assists, and Hena's two goals gave the team a clean 2-0 victory.

On December 7, at the Amsterdam Arena, Warrendam's astonishing 14-round unbeaten streak was finally announced. And it was Ajax who ended them. 0:3, also cleanly beheaded under the horse. Zhang Jun had a mediocre performance in the game and was substituted in the 65th minute of the second half, still without scoring.

After the game, Warrendam also dropped from third place in the league to fifth. Many media believe that the impact of the summer transfer incident has finally been revealed, and Zhang Jun will step by step into a trough.

What will Zhang Jun do in the face of these doubtful voices?

On December 14, in the fifteenth round of the league, they faced AZ Alkmaar (AZ) at home. Zhang Jun silenced everyone who doubted him with a direct free-kick of 23 meters. It was the second free kick scored by Zhang Jun in the league, and it was a ball with good angle, speed, arc and strength. The arc of the football is as charming as his smile after scoring a goal.

After the game, a reporter commented: What kind of mentality supports him to keep scoring goals? What kind of mentality makes him smile so easily after scoring a goal? If at the beginning of the season every time he volleyed hard, every time he roared after a goal, he was protesting against Milan, or even demonstrating, now when you see him deftly pick a defender to score, when you see him open his arms and close his eyes after a goal, smile and listen to the cheers. We know that he is really enjoying football, and the summer of 2003 is gradually moving away from him, and a real Zhang Jun is coming to us. It doesn't matter if he continues to score goals or not, it's enough for him to play on the pitch with a smile on his face.

Oh, and one more thing to forget: never doubt him.

Yang Pan only played in the reserve team for a month before being recalled to the first team because as the league progressed, the physical strength of the older players in the team gradually began to show some problems, including Nervo. In addition, Yang Pan's performance in the reserve team is really good, with two goals and four assists that Mazzoni can't turn a blind eye. He was recalled to the first team in late November, and although he was not included in the squad for the defeat at Roma on November 23 and the draw away to Reggina on November 30, Yang Pan had a feeling that Mazzoni already understood what he was capable of, and that he was not far from being able to actually play.

Sure enough, on December 7, Yang Pan was selected into the 18-man squad for the home game against Ancona. The news made the Chinese media, who had been depressed for two months, very excited for a while. But this time, no one dared to think that Yang Pan would play, and the media remained cautious on the point of the last game.

It was a perfect game in the first half, with an own goal in the opening three minutes and a goalmouth strike from Nervo in the 27th minute to give the home side a 2-0 lead. Nervo scored his third goal of the season and is still in good form. It seems that as long as Yang Pan sits on the bench, he has endless energy. When Nervo scored, the camera focused on Yang Pan on the bench again, trying to capture a different news. But they were disappointed, and Yang Pan threw off the towel in his hand at the first time, jumped up and cheered for the goal.

※※※

When Elan saw Yang Pan cheering for a competitor's goal in front of the TV, she didn't know what to say.

The other party is your competitor! Stupid, I don't know what's going on in his head!

Yilan suddenly came to her senses, why was she worried about him?

※※※

At half-time, Nervo was praised by Mazzoni and he was modest, but he couldn't hide his pride. "Hey! Don't pretend, Carllo. Your competitors are still warming up outside! Locatelli touched Nervo and whispered.

“……”

※※※

Yang Pan wanted to play, but he couldn't express it, he knew that as a newcomer, he was not qualified to ask the head coach for anything. Be low-key, and the traditional thinking of the Chinese is rooted in the heart.

But as a young person, if you have an impulse in your heart but can't vent it, it will damage your body.

"Bang!"

The soccer ball slammed into the billboard behind the goal, the poor billboard.

Captain Signori started the second half with another goal and a stab from inside the box extended the lead to three. The game seems to be moving in a very good direction.

Of course, if there are no two goals in a row in ten minutes.

The only cheers in the Dalara Stadium were the cheers of the visiting fans, and the home fans were deadly silent. Ancona scored twice in the space of 10 minutes to give them their own hope of a draw away from home.

Bologna struggled for the next fifteen minutes and it was clear that Nervo had given it his all, and although there were less than fifteen minutes to go, Mazzoni finally decided to replace him.

"Yang Pan, let's go warm up." The interpreter turned the coach's words around.

"Yes!" Yang Pan stood up with some excitement, then quickly took off his coat and ran to the sidelines to warm up.

Taking advantage of the football out of bounds, the camera pointed at Yang Pan who was warming up on the sidelines, and the meaning couldn't be clearer: Yang Pan is finally going to play!

The Chinese reporters in the press box became excited, and they quickly wrote on their laptops or notebooks: "In the thirty-first minute of the second half, Yang Pan stood up from the bench, he quickly took off his coat, he knew that there was not much time left for him......"

When there were ten minutes left in the game, Yang Pan walked to the place where the midfield and the sideline intersected, and Mazzoni pulled the translator and finally told him: "Defend actively!" ”

Nervo desperately made a sliding tackle to save the ball, but the ball still rolled out of bounds. He didn't want the ball out of bounds because he saw Yang Pan standing on the sidelines, and everyone knew who he would replace.

Sure enough, the fourth official held up the sign: No. 7 up, No. 21 down.

Nervo got up from the ground and walked slowly to the sidelines, where he hugged Signori on the side, and his action "earned" him boos from the Ancona fans, who agreed that Nervo was deliberately delaying the game.

He and Yang Pan gave him a high-five, and then went off the field to put on the coat handed over by the staff and sat on the bench to rest. Mazzoni turned back to him and said, "Well done, Carllo!" ”

Yang Pan ran two steps and came to the place where the throw-in was served. Finally up, finally stepped on! The turf of Dalara, the turf of Serie A!

Ancona's throw-in, Yang Pan stepped forward to interfere, but the opponent threw the ball directly into the penalty area, Bologna central defender Zanchi (Zanchi) came to the ball and flew towards Yang Pan.

Touching the ball so soon?

Yang Pan planned to stop the ball with his chest, but the ball stopped directly three meters away and was picked up by the opponent. There was a burst of exclamations from the stands, but luckily the opposition's long-range shot went over the crossbar.

Signori slapped his face and signaled to Yang Pan that it was nothing, don't take it to heart.

Yang Pan nodded vigorously.

※※※

"Would that fool be nervous too?" Yilan, who was in front of the TV, muttered to herself.

"After all, it's his first Serie A game, so it's not normal if you're not nervous." Dad answered on the side.

※※※

Yang Pan's second touch was a tackle that shoveled the ball off the touchline. His performance was met with applause from the home fans, who did not hesitate to dedicate their encouragement to the Chinese lad who made his debut.

Bologna then began to counter-attack, and they kept the ball in front of the opposition box, but Locatelli's cross pass was broken, and Ancona immediately counter-attacked. At this time, there are only three Bologna backfield and goalkeepers, and Ancona plays a quick counterattack, and it is possible to face the goalkeeper directly with three passes and two pounds.

Yang Pan began to run backwards the moment Locatelli passed the ball, he expected the opponent to play a counter-attack, and it was likely to be on the right side, Bologna's right-back went up to assist and did not return to the defense, there was a lot of space there.

Sure enough, the opponent made a long pass to the left, and striker Maurizioganz quickly cut in to chase the ball. At this time, Yang Pan's speed had already risen.

The ball hit the ground and bounced high forward, and Gunz decided to stop the ball with his chest when it came down again. But he didn't know that Yang Pan was only two meters away from him at this time...

Just two meters.

Bologna approached Ancona's bench at half-time, and Ancona's substitutes were shouting a shout about Gunz behind them, but their reminders were drowned out by the exclamations of the home fans.

The ball fell, and Gunz spread his arms slightly, jumped slightly, and raised his chest up to catch the ball.

Yang Pan sprinted forward and jumped up in the high-speed run.

Gunz felt a gust of wind pass around him, and a figure jumped in the air, high up and stopped the football with his chest! He only saw the number on the back, a big "7".

Ten seconds five. When he saw this scene, Nervo in the audience somehow remembered the word.

Yang Pan, who landed on the ground, did not dare to slack off, and directly kicked the ball out of bounds. He didn't know that Gunz was completely stunned and didn't come up to force him. He could actually stop the ball and turn around and decide on his next move.

The Dalara Stadium erupted in huge cheers and applause, all dedicated to Bologna's No. 7 Yang Pan! The audience applauded Yang Pan's wonderful back-plug steal!

"Amazing speed, more than fifty meters of distance he ran almost in the blink of an eye! Maybe this Chinese kid will run faster than a ball! The on-site narrator roared.

※※※

Defend aggressively.

Yang Pan took a breath, it had only been a few minutes since he came on the court, and he had already begun to gasp for breath, still nervous. But......

He took a deep breath, and his heart gradually calmed down, and he was already much better than when he first played.

The game was about to end, but Yang Pan unknowingly became a right-back, his speed, his quick turn, his tackle, and his header made the opponent unable to find any way on his side. What a good right-back.

But Yang Pan didn't like it, his desire to attack was far greater than the idea of defense.

Towards the end of the game, the opposition almost completely pressed past half time and they were desperate for an equaliser.

Yang Pan successfully broke the ball on the right side of the penalty area, he looked up to find someone, but saw that his teammates had all come back to defend, and there was no one in front of him.

The situation did not allow him to think anymore, and one of the opposing team members pounced on him menacingly.

Is bullying me a newcomer? The crotch is so big! Yang Pan pushed the ball with the inside of his foot, and the ball drilled under the opponent's crotch, while Yang Pan accelerated to bypass the defender. Wear the crotch! The ball is divided!

"Yang Pan dribbles the ball along the side! He's fast! Ancona's defenders are desperately trying to get back on the defence! ”

The Bologna fans cheered loudly, and bringing the ball to the opposition half was the safest defence. And Yang Pan, who has been serving as a defensive task, finally broke out once, after all, he is the right midfielder.

However, the speed of dribbling the ball is never as fast as running without the ball, and the distance between the defender and Yang Pan is shortening. Yang Pan glanced at his teammates, but they hadn't caught up yet, his speed was too fast...... He decided to take his time.

"Yang Pan stopped the ball behind, and he braked suddenly!"

The defender couldn't brake enough to rush over, but he quickly pounced on it. Everyone thinks the two will get into a fight, right? Signoli reached out for the ball while running, but Yang Pan knocked the ball behind him, turned around and rushed over!

"Break through again! Yang Pan, who was replaced on the field, seems to have endless energy! ”

Passing or shooting, this is the problem in front of Yang Pan now, the angle after his breakthrough is not off, and the angle of shooting is not small. Passing the ball can show your selflessness in full, but if you shoot, you will be ...... once you score

Yang Pan saw that the goalkeeper also seemed to hesitate on this issue, because his position was a bit in the middle.

Okay, just shoot!

The football jumped up, Yang Pan stepped firmly on the side with his left foot, and his right foot exploded like a fire in the barrel of a cannon!

The goalkeeper thought he was going to cross the moment Yang Pan slammed his foot, but as soon as he wanted to move his center of gravity, he saw the football rushing straight towards the bottom corner of the goal! He hurriedly reversed the force, pounced sideways, and then shot this powerful shot with both hands to the bottom line!

It's dangerous!

What a pity!

Exclamations and sighs erupted from the stands.

Yang Pan scratched his hair in frustration, and the goal he thought he had to score made the opponent pounce. Italy is really different, even the goalkeeper of a weak team can save his shot so easily, and it seems that he will need to strengthen his shooting practice in the future.

"Yang Pan volleys hard! It's a pity that this 24-meter long shot was saved by Ancona's goalkeeper! He missed his chance to score his first goal in Serie A! ”

Although Yang Pan did not score this goal, it indirectly helped the team to achieve the final victory. The corner was tactical, and Bologna kept the ball firmly at their feet and dragged it through the final minute.

The referee blew three whistles, and the game was over! Bologna finally ended their embarrassing eight-game winless streak! Since a 2-0 home win over Udinese on 21 September 2003, they have been winless from 28 September to 30 November, with just two wins in 12 league games.

It was a terrible start, but now it's all over. Not only because they won, but more importantly, Mazzoni found that Yang Pan is a player with excellent physical fitness, fast speed, and balanced attack and defense. He can complete any tactical requirement, whether it is positional warfare or defensive counter-attacks, he will be a good player.

What coach doesn't like such a player?

After the game, Yang Pan was cheered on by the fans on the sidelines with his teammates, and he raised his hands to applaud the stands, unaware that Mazzoni's mind was changing.

For himself, it was his first appearance, the team won and it was a good feeling. But Yang Pan is not satisfied with this, he believes that he will only be successful when he starts for Bologna. For now, there is still some way to go to that goal, but it will not be far after all.

※※※

Yilan looked at Yang Pan on TV, and suddenly felt that this person was not so annoying. At least now his expression can really charm many girls and children...... Stop, Elan! Can't fall for Dad's tricks!

Elan stood up: "I'm going to work." ”

"Huh?" Dad was a little strange, "Aren't you watching?" The broadcast is not over yet......"

"No, the game is over, what else is there to see."

Looking at his daughter's back, my father remembered that the last time he turned off the TV after the game and let his daughter give birth to half the weather, now ......

Hehe, he smiled.

※※※

"Yang Pan's debut in Serie A! "The team wins, the first battle of Serie A, double happiness is coming! "Three cheers to Yang Pan! "The high-speed backchase is amazing, and the ten-minute perfect performance" and "Yang Pan: Everything has just begun. 》……

Don't get excited, these are all reports from the Chinese media, they treat Yang Pan's debut almost as a feast, and in just ten minutes, they are infinitely expanded, turning into 90 minutes to report, so detailed that every time Yang Pan touches the ball, wipes sweat and takes a breath on the court, he does not let go of such small actions as wiping sweat and taking breath on the court.

In short, they did everything they could to let Chinese fans know: Yang Pan is playing in Serie A! What a great thing!

In fact, in Bologna, after the game, only the team's victory was highlighted, and when it comes to individual players, Nervo has to be rated above Yang Pan because he scored a goal.

There is only one thing about Yang Pan: the Chinese kid's performance in ten minutes won the cheers of the Dalara Stadium, but for him, for us, ten minutes is obviously too short.

That's all.

※※※

"Yang Pan, I heard that you finally played in Serie A? Congratulations! ”

"Unfortunately, it's only ten minutes." Yang Pan shrugged as he held his phone.

"Don't say that, when we first started playing in the Dutch Super League, it seemed like it was only ten minutes! It's always going to get better, as long as you get off to a good start, ho-ho! ”

"Ho-ho!" Yang Pan smiled, when will that kid be so comforting? It seems that the Milan laboratory has helped him instead. "You're in the Netherlands, you haven't scored in two rounds, right? You also stopped scoring in the Dutch Cup, so you won't be uncomfortable because you don't have a pass from me, right? Ha ha! ”

"Don't stink! Wen has been playing hard in your shirt and he is now more and more confident as he plays......"

Yang Pan realized that he would eventually be forgotten after leaving Warrendam, just like Wen's excellent performance. Even Jang Jun got used to Wen's passing. Having only been there for one season, he was like a passer-by, and no one would remember the name and number of that passerby for many years. Zhang Jun, on the other hand, turned down invitations from the Dutch giants and returned to Warrendam, which in itself left a perfect impression on the people there. Then it was a barrage of goals and several times to save the team from danger. Listen to the songs the fans wrote for him! "Zhang Jun blesses Volendam", they see him as God. Zhang Jun will definitely leave in the end, but his departure will be remembered forever by the people there, etched on the walls of Veronica.

“…… Hey, Yang Pan, Christmas is coming. Serie A has a ten-day truce, you should have a few days off, right? Why don't we go on a tour? ”

"Huh? Tourism? Where to travel? Yang Pan came back to his senses from his contemplation.

"Well, I want to think about it...... Let's go to the UK! ”

"Britain? What's there to do there? It was rainy, cold and damp. ”

"Ho-ho! But there's football! I wanted to see what football looked like in the birthplace of modern football. ”

Sure enough, all I had in my head was football...... "Aren't you afraid of reporters?" England's paparazzi are no ordinary powerhouse. ”

"Hehe, we won't tell anyone when we go out this time, and then dress up, act low-key, and live in a youth hostel. I'm sure no one will recognize us. After all, in Britain, who is not familiar with us, they look at the Orientals with the same face. ”

"Okay, you said I was moved. When the time comes, it's decided that I'll call you. ”

※※※

On December 14, Yang Pan did not play in Bologna's 2-0 home defeat to Inter Milan (Inter), although he sat on the bench. He could only watch from the sidelines as the team had just won and then lost, and there was nothing he could do.

On December 21, the last match before Christmas, Bologna took on Siena away. This time Mazzoni gave Yang Pan 25 minutes and did not ask him to "defend actively", but to "take the initiative to attack", because the two sides were 0:0 when he was ready to play. With twenty-five minutes remaining, whoever scores a goal will upset the balance of the game.

It's a pity that Yang Pan's performance is average, he is active on the right side, he has few opportunities to shoot from a distance, and his breakthrough cross cannot create a scoring opportunity for his teammates, which is a little too single.

The two sides eventually drew 0:0.

The last race before the New Year is over, and the next thing that awaits them is the New Year's holiday. After a hard year, let's relax and relax!
